A large orange-red net-skin hangs in the room, reaching almost from the ceiling to the floor. Up close it is made of countless knotted threads, broken up by holes and sewn-in patches of fabric. Light comes through it and drops the pattern onto the floor as shadow.
Elolo Bosoka builds these structures from rough everyday materials: fishing nets, sacks, plastics and textiles. In his hands they turn into delicate, glowing membranes, somewhere between a net and a skin.
Bosoka (b. 1991) lives and works between Kumasi and Accra. He is part of blaxTARLINES KUMASI, the experimental collective and art incubator at the painting and sculpture department of KNUST in Kumasi, where art is treated as something shared rather than a commodity. That attitude is in the work itself: material that has already passed through many hands is given a second form.
